Turn away Kate!

Grimm imbibes an elixir and begins to convulse and gag as a swarm of spiders come pouring out of his mouth and engages the new ooze.

The swarm of spiders suddenly disgorged from Grimm's mouth swarm the puddle of black ooze, seeking to devour it, but are in turn disintegrated almost immediately on contact with the highly corrosive goo!


Its appetite suddenly quenched by its instinct for self-preservation, the other pudding slides off of Koran, withdrawing toward the well, and drawing AoOs passing through the enlarged reach of Koran and Derrik....

Derrik Slams the Flat of his Blade into the newly split piece, as Cutting it is clearly not Working.. Going for the massive blunt force that everyone's guns seem to effecting it with.

The flat of Dawnbringer comes down on the black pudding still hungry for Koran's flesh with a wet smacking sound, causing the ooze to quiver....

Derrik Stonesmith wrote:

He also strikes with Koran at the Piece that attempts to scurry away with the brunt of his Shield

His shield slaps the fleeing pudding at the same instant that Koran's earth breaker pounds it, splattering acidic goo everywhere and bringing the newly split monster's existence to an end.

Dawnbringer takes 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4 acid damage; the shield takes 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7 acid damage.


Koran "The Hammer" wrote:


I cant make the reflex save so I wont roll

Koran knocks the fleeing pudding dead in its tracks with a swing of his earth breaker, its lifeless mass relaxing into an expanding pool of black goo....

The earth breaker takes 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11 acid damage.


After Mephos, Grimm, Derrik, Dwayne Lee, Krar, and Koran, unless one or more of their actions preclude the following:

One of the puddings, badly wounded by Radsworth's shocking grasp spell and Dwayne Lee's bullet (2 hp remaining) slithers over to the well (complete withdraw), provoking an AoO from Koran as it passes through his 10-ft reach square, as well as from Derrik if he wishes to take it (he can strike with the flat of his blade to inflict bludgeoning damage as an improvised weapon at -4 to attack rolls)....

The other black pudding seems intent on tasting more of the giant tiefling's flesh, and flings itself back at Koran hungrily....
Slam 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 4) + 4 = 13 bludgeoning plus 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 acid, plus grab 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (13) + 16 = 29.... It slams into Koran, burning flesh and eating away armor unless a DC 21 Reflex save at -4 is made to negate the damage to armor, and clinging with terrific force to the hulking barbarian!


Koran "The Hammer" wrote:

[dice=reflex]1d20-1

[dice=grapple to get out]1d20+13 to get out on his turn

With a powerful whipping motion of his torso, Koran flings both black puddings to the stone floor, freeing himself from their corrosive grip....


Radsworth wrote:

Radsworth scowls as he draws a blank of the Black Pudding.

"I have absolutely no idea what this does! Other than reproduce after being struck!"

The others aware he has no ideas, he falls back on a tactic as old as adventuring. Kill it with magic. Channeling his magic without Travelers help, electricity crackles over his hand and fingers. He reaches out and disperses the power into the pudding on Koran.

As Radsworth's hand comes in contact with the slimy, viscous mass of blackness, he suddenly and painfully realizes how acidic the substance is.... Reflex save DC 21 or take 2d6 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 acid damage!

The electricity ripples through the black pudding, causing it to vibrate and spasm wildly, but it seems that only one-half the pudding was affected.... Or rather, that there are two separate puddings now, and only one was affected by the shocking grasp....


Derrik Stonesmith wrote:

None the wiser, Derrik steps up to try and cut the Oozing mass from Koran

Taking his readied attack.

[dice=Dawnbringer]1d20+8;1d8+4

As Dawnbringer slices into the black pudding, it splits into two halves, each continuing to cling tenaciously to the giant Koran! Further, make a DC 21 Ref save for Dawnbringer....


Dr. Hugo Grimm wrote:

Grimm precisely launches a fire bomb at the pudding.

[Dice=attack] 1d20+7
[Dice=damage] 3d6+4

The firebomb bursts on the black pudding, flames roaring and sizzling, and causing the monstrous ooze to recoil....


After Krar and Koran:

The black pudding lurches toward The FOs, toppling toward them in fact, heaving itself with terrible force toward its perceived prey....

It plops forward, stacking the rear of its mass atop the front, piling itself up higher and higher, not unlike the motion of a slinky going downstairs, until it towers almost 15 ft over the floor, and lands like a great black wave of goo crashing on a stone beach where Koran stands! 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11 bludgeoning plus 2d6 ⇒ (5, 5) = 10 acid, 21 damage total, plus grab 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28 vs Koran's CMD.... A terrible suction exerts itself from the black ooze on Koran's body, holding him fast in the pudding-like blackness!


Mephos - Subject 210 wrote:

grease right below the ooze

DC 17 reflex
scorpion drops to the floor

The huge pile of black ooze seems unhindered by the grease, as it cannot be knocked prone like other legged creatures....


Initiative 1d20 - 5 ⇒ (13) - 5 = 8
